Pros: Works good, good spray power and good vacuum, doesn't leave the rug overly wet. Easy to use and refill the container. The brushes rotate which I feel does a more thorough action than a simple "back & forth" action as some other machines have. Has a 12 amp motor which is substantial. I did three oriental rugs in my home, and (with a lot of pre-treatment) got out spots that have not removed with other machines.

Cons: As I see it, the weakness of this machine is it's physical structure, not the engineering. You have to treat this thing like a new-born baby. Everything except the motor is plastic, and not high-impact plastic either. All hinges are plastic, most are simple "peg in a hole" type hinges which are very tender. I noted that most of the complaints here that I read have more to do with things breaking than the quality of operation and I can see why. Do not pick this machine up by the handle! It won't take the weight. If you want to lift it, bend over and pick it up at the base so there is no stress on the plastic handles or hinges. If you are careful, it should be ok. This is why I knocked off one egg. I am very pleased with its performance. After all, remember the reasonable price you are paying for this thing.

Overall Review: A thought on the shampoo they supply. I ran a pro carpet cleaning company for 15 years, we had 5 full-time crews, did over 200 restaurants plus office buildings, etc. I purchased carpet shampoo in 55 gallon drums. I know what is in that stuff. Don't buy Hoover shampoo. Just use 1 or 2 tablespoons of any good liquid (not powder) LAUNDRY detergent (note: NOT dish detergent! NOT all purpose cleaner with solvents, etc). in a quart of water. Note the watery consistency of the original Hoover shampoo, and make your mixture the same. Laundry detergent is the same base formula of all these carpet shampoos, and is designed to get out the same type of soil that gets into fabrics. It is also low-foaming so it won't over-foam in the machine. Dish detergent and AP soaps will!! It is chemically close to ph7 (water) so it is neutral (not acid or base) so it won't attack color dyes. I haven't tried this on my furniture or drapes yet, but I am pretty sure it will be fine.

Pros: Superb printing, good speed, typical excellent Canon quality.

Cons: Two: I had it's predecessor, the Pixma ip 4700. Identical 100% to this printer. Died in 1.5 years. Ok, occasionally it happens, even with excellent Canon products. Next: this is why I knocked off two eggs. These manufacturers are gouging customers on the ink. No, they haven't increased the price, they cut the quantity. In fact, it appears to me that these carts are even smaller than the ip4700 from 1.5 years ago. This is getting close to dishonesty. I put brand new carts in 1.5 weeks ago, and three of them are already registering as low. With just my wife and myself using it occasionally?? Come on, Canon, America isn't stupid. Why do you think the 3rd party vendors are getting rich?

Pros: Board seems typical ASUS quality workmanship

Cons: Beware if you will need to flash the BIOS on this board for any AMD Ryzan 5000 (in my case, a Ryzen 7). There IS a flashback button on this board, BUT NO board LED light to let you know when the flash is completed. If you pull out the flash drive before the BIOS flash completes the board could be bricked. I couldn't believe it. I had even contacted Asus tech help (typed only, no direct telephone) before purchase and was assured that this board could be flashed without using AMD's CPU lending swapout system. Guess what? That tech was wrong. I contacted ASUS customer help again after I received the board and that guy said there was no LED light on that board. Ok, you have been warned. Back this board goes to Newegg with spades.

Overall Review: I am sure the board is good quality, but if flashing is NOT required if you are building with an older CPU. Not otherwise.

Pros: This case is one of the best bargains at Newegg. Other posters have covered most of the good points, so I will limit my listings to a few. > A lot of planning went into this case. All edges are chamfered, so no cut fingers. The case is well-constructed, firm and strong. > The top and bottom of this case are mostly black hard-mesh screen, so that is a great promoter of airflow. They both have easily removable filters for cleaning, a nice touch. > A 120mm liquid cooler fits easily (mine went in without a hitch), a 240mm. unit will fit, but the two front 120mm fans must be removed to do it. > It has two front USB3 ports (in addition to two USB2 ports) which I like; many cases only have one USB3 port. > Both sides of the case easily remove with thumbscrews. That makes cable management dead easy, and there are plenty of cutouts available. Some people prefer hinged covers, but I have found them a nuisance when I want to lay the case on its side for access, so I like the removable sides. > The rear card port covers have thumbscrews, not just standard phillips-head screws. Very nice touch. > Note that there seems to be some confusion with some reviewers about the drive bays and drive placement; all the bays are removable including the bottom plate. They are positioned at a right angle to the front panel, not "head-on" which is common with cases. The drives should be positioned with the rear of each drive facing the cable management plate on the computer's left side. This enables the builder to run the SATA cables through the cable management plate. Considering that I run 4 drives (Windows XP, 7, 10 and Linux Mint) that would be a real spaghetti pile of cables. Routing them through the side plate makes everything neat and open. > By the way, the 2.5" SSD drive tray mounts on the left side, behind the cable-management tray. And...there is only one. That's rather odd, because there is a bay for two but only one is supplied. I have not investigated, but I would imagine that there are generic trays available for a reasonable price. I don't feel that is important enough to knock off an egg.

Cons: At this point I really can't think of any.

Overall Review: At Newegg's price, this case is one of the best bargains currently available. It's a beautiful case, well-engineered and strong. Excellent airflow and cable management. I paired this with the Asus 970 Pro Gaming/Aura board, and the lighting effect is really great. Popped in a AMD FX-8350 Black Edition Vishera processor and this build rockets.

Pros: Cools ok, average for any thermal paste.

Cons: This stuff turns into epoxy glue when applied; when you attempt to remove the heat sink at some time in the future, it is literally welded onto the CPU. I tried every trick in the book, but after 20 minutes of trying to free up the heat sink from the CPU on my Asus board, the grease released and I ripped the CPU off the mounting socket. The lock down bar was still in place. Exit one AMD Phenom Quad processor. Just 15 minutes ago I was bench building a new unit, (I always bench build before installing in the case) and applied the MX-4, and just to test, I immediately attempted to remove the CPU from the heatsink. Same thing. MX-4 welded the CPU so tight that I had to carefully insert a razor blade (after releasing the lock down lever) and finally after 20" of nerves and sweat I worked it underneath so that it finally released without damaging my new processor. Thankfully I always bench build before installing the the case...if I had not done that I probably would have ruined another processor. Since the board was not installed in the case, I had more room to work with the razor blade.

Overall Review: I am amazed that Arctic Silver did not field test this stuff before releasing it on the public. Sadly, there are going to be a lot of dismayed customers when one day they want to remove the CPU. Come on, Arctic Silver, I really trusted you guys. You let me down and cost me a really good processor.

Pros: Runs fine so far, have 2 of them for about a month.

Cons: None
